This 510K webinar will review the proposed changes currently being discussed regarding the 510K program and how these changes will likely impact the medical device industry in the future.

Why should you Attend: To be aware of and understand the proposed changes currently being discussed regarding the 510K program and how these changes will likely impact the medical device industry in the future.

The 510K, one of the two primary pathways available to medical device manufacturers to bring new products to the market in the United States, has been the workhorse of the medical device industry for the past three decades.

But some say there is a “perfect storm” brewing: more product recalls being reported by the media, a new administration in Washington, D.C., and a newly appointed FDA commissioner who has said “there obviously have been some problems” at the Center for Devices and Radiological Health and has designated device reform as “a high priority” for the immediate future.In fact, this storm may have been developing for some time as former FDA Commissioner David Kessler described the device center as “dysfunctional” and “in meltdown.”

Will the 510K as it currently exists today remain the dominant pathway to get medical devices on to the market in the future? Only time will tell but attendees of this webinar will come away with a better understanding of the important issues being debated today and a greater insight on how to plan for the future.

Areas Covered in the seminar:

With this “perfect storm” rapidly approaching, what do device manufactures need to know now to weather this storm without becoming lost at sea or worse? During this interactive webinar, participants will:

Understand the challenges and limitations of the 510K program as it currently exists.

Identify several case studies with lessons to be learned including what to do and what not to do Appreciate the implications of “The Medical Device Safety Act of 2009” (HR 1346) and anticipate likely changes to the regulatory process should the bill become law.
